Almah

Almah is a feminine name with Hebrew origins, derived from the word meaning 'young woman' or 'maiden.' The term appears in the Hebrew Bible and gained particular significance in Isaiah 7:14, which Christians interpret as a prophecy of Jesus's birth. This biblical connection gives the name spiritual significance for some families. Though never widely popular in Western countries, Almah has occasionally appeared through the centuries, appreciated for its gentle sound and meaningful heritage. The name carries an air of ancient wisdom and feminine strength. Its brevity and ending with 'ah' places it alongside other revived Hebrew names like Adah and Leah. For parents seeking a name with biblical connections but less common than Sarah or Hannah, Almah offers an elegant alternative.

Pronounced AHL-muh.
